Democrats ahead of Bush on national security

[Caro]

Now, ram it home, Democrats. Get some spine and ram it home. From Rasmussen Reports:

Just 17% Favor Dubai Ports Deal

February 24, 2006--Just 17% of Americans believe Dubai Ports World should be allowed to purchase operating rights to several U.S. ports. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that 64% disagree and believe the sale should not be allowed…

For the first time ever, Americans have a slight preference for Democrats in Congress over the President on national security issues. Forty-three percent (43%) say they trust the Democrats more on this issue today while 41% prefer the President.

The preference for the opposition party is small, but the fact that Democrats are even competitive on the national security front is startling.

1. "Get some spine and ram it home." A-FUCKING-MEN!

Bush couldn't have possibly given the Democratic Party a better gift. He's even serving it up on a silver platter. TAKE IT YOU FOOLS, TAKE IT AND RAPE THE FUCKING HELL OUT OF THE REPUBLICANS WITH IT!! You couldn't ASK for something more perfect - and that margin can grow even larger with the right tactics used by Democrats.

However, I bet everyone 10 bucks that the Democratic Party drops the ball and the Republican's regain their lead.

Geeze, come on, you spineless ninnies! This is the ONE thing the Republicans have over your heads, the one thing...

2. I don't usually say this, but

Well-said, Meldread, colorful language and all.

And yeah, I'll bet the effing ninnies drop the ball and they regain their lead, too. Why? Because the repukes organize their communications like a corporation does and the Democrats are still acting like a political party. Not an opposition party, just a political party.

In fact, the repukes probably factored all this in and could care less that their lead has dropped. It's just a cost of doing business to them and they'll plug in some PR stunts later and solve the problem.

And brain dead Americans will slop it up.

3. I agree 100%

I seriously cannot believe that the Democratic Party is so ineffectual. Hell, two terms of Bush gone so horribly wrong - I mean so freaking horribly wrong - would have been seen as a gift from heaven to the Democratic Party of a few decades ago. I don't know what happened, but I do know that they are so totally ineffectual that it's absolutely unbelievable. They stun me on a daily basis.

If the Republican Party ever loses power, it'll be because of their long list of fuck-up's and inability to keep lying. Lying is only going to get you so far before Americans just say "to hell with you, I'd take a ham sandwich over this". Even the media can't spin the truth forever, they already remind me of those guys who spin plates on sticks in talent shows. Sure, they might be able to keep two or three in the air, but how about five? Seven? Ten? Twelve? Every month it seems a new scandal breaks, or the Republicans or the Bush Administration totally do something completely stupid - this port deal is a good example - and it's only a matter of time before those spinning plates start to fall. (Actually, they are already falling. They are just keeping the most important plates spinning now, the ones that hold back armed resistance from outraged American Citizens.)

Sadly, if the Democratic Party was worth the money we throw at it they'd walk over there and kick those spinning plates over, then pick up the shards and begin cutting the throats of idiotic Republicans.

I swear, if the roles were reversed and all that has happened under Bush was done under a Democrat... there would no longer be a Democratic Party. The Republicans would crucify them - both literally and figuratively.

5. It's hard to be effective ...

... when the media is cutting your throat 24/7 and doing its best to make you look ineffective.

We need 20 or so unabashedly liberal newspapers in major markets and a TV network the likes of FOX. Until we begin to move the media our way it will remain difficult for Democrats to do anything. That, after all, is corporate media's objective--to hamstring the left. They have been quite effective at it.
